Definition
饵 is a bound form (语素), meaning it appears as part of a compound word, not alone. Its most common meaning is 'bait' (in compounds like 鱼饵 'fish bait' or 诱饵 'lure'). It can also refer to 'pastries' or 'cakes' in classical compounds (饼饵). In literary Chinese, 饵 can be used as a verb meaning 'to entice' or 'to lure'.
